I just updated the Plex Server and rebooted my system to start fresh…what I noticed now is that Plex cannot find my hard drives (3 were connected as individual libraries) and it’s lost the pictures/descriptions and now some of the listings are totally wrong. What can I do to fix this.

Mine is not letting me edit any of my movies. Anytime I click the little edit pen icon, it says there was an error editing this item. It is also giving an error loading the dashboard and when i go into an individual item. I tried restarting plex server but had the same results.

Please try and get [server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/)

Have the drive letters changed? Are these network shares or internal drives? What errors do you get? Can you see your libraries ? If not, may be you switched windows accounts when launching Plex Media Server and a new sever got setup

Could be some database corruption.

In all cases logs would help identify the issue

I posted a new thread with the logs.

I haven’t changed anything other than adding a new movie, but i’ve never had this issue before. Seems like the update just has bugs or something.

I see it was database corruption. One thing to note is that for releases that include an update to the database structure (schema update) any pre-existing database corruption would have a much bigger impact as it would stop the database schema update

Fortunately I had a backup of the complex PMS that wasn’t too old and I reinstalled it…got into that habit whenever a piece of software wants to upgrade itself. Turns out when I upgraded it lost my scanner settings and scripts…when I reinstalled I made sure they were in place when I upgraded, this time Plex recognized them and all is o.k. This upgrade provided me a chance to move it to a larger hard drive.

I have probably a similar problem with my Plex Installation on my Synology NAS. It worked fine yesterday and once I pushed the public update. Nothing works… Its not even connecting. I could understand that something like this can happen on a beta… but on a public… not good.

When can we expect a fix?
